| Notes |
- Births of his children are found in Fr. Christian Dennissen's Genealogy of the French Families of the Detroit River Region, Vol. 2, pg 1204, John Baptiste Trombley entry.
The following is taken from the St. Charles, Newport, MI, Church History, published in 1930, and has a picture of John and his wife Mary.
"John Trombley was born in Montral, Canada in 1801, immigrated to this country with his two sons. The date of his arrival here is not definitely known, but was probably between 1830-1840. After clearing a place large enough for a log house, they settled on Swan Creek in Old Port. (A description of this log house has been given by his son Moses D. Trombley and memories of it were also given to Patrick L. Tombeau by Charles Jarvis, John's grandson through his daughter Mary.
(Later research by Lianna Trombley and other hands indivcates that J. B. Trombley's birthdate was born 23 February 1803 in St. Regis, Clinton County, NY. See below and in the Scrapbook Section of this entry.)
"John was married a second time, this time to a Mary Bomia (Baumier) of Detroit. Nine children of this union was born. (Actually there were ten children born of this union and two by his previous union). Only two children survived until this time (1930): Charles L. Trombley of St. Augustine, Fl. and Matilda Thompson of Monroe, MI.
"Mr. Trombley's name is prominently linked with the early history of the parish. He donated two acres of land for the site of the frame church in 1851 (2nd church). In the days before the rectory was built, the various pastors dwelt in the Trombley home. Mr. Trombley was a general caretaker and sexton for many years. His death occurred April 8th, 1877, and Mrs. Trombley died February 23rd, 1899. He taught catechism in the old church as did his son, Charles. The Trombleys were the type of pioneer s that made St. Charles possible."
According to a statment by his son Charles Louis Trombley in Talcott Wing's 1890 edition of the History of Monroe County, his father John Bapt. Trombley was born in Quebec (not Montreal, as in the1930 Church History of St. Charles), on Janaury 1, 1802. (See above and below for a different date for his birth supplied by Lianna Trombley's research.)
From a newspaper clipping held by Moses Trombley's daughter Minnie Trombley Mercure in the 1960's. It is titled and dated only: "Old Port Man Jan. 20". This article describes the log cabin in which Jean Baptiste Trombley and his wife Marie Baumier, Minnie Trombley Mercure's paternal grandparents, raised 12 children.
"One of the most interesting reports received in connection with the log cabin query was that of Mose Trombley of Oldport. Mr. Trombley was born in a log cabin at Oldport on October 31, 1843, and spent most of his life in that vicinity. He was born in the pioneer days when the country was still heavy timber and Indians were camping. Deer, wild turkeys, and sometimes wolves, were in the forests. The old log house had two rooms, one for a kitchen and general use and the other for a bedroom, and also an attic that was used a s a bedroom. A ladder was used to get to the attic. There was a big open fire place which was used for cooking and heating. The old cabin has since been replaced by a frame house and the old log stable has been replaced by a frame building.
"In those days there were no matches or oil lamps. Candles were used for light and if the fire went out it was necessary to fire from the neigbors. Matches and oil lamps came on the market in the ealy fifties (1850's) Matches were sold in square blocks, cut both ways, and containing fifty matches which sold for ten cents a block.
People spent evenings together playing cards, singing, dancing, and enjoying lunches together. In the summer time many hours were spent in clearing the land and then the brush was heaped up to make big bonfires.
Another grandchild, Charles Jarvis, describes a sleep over in his grandparents' log home above in the attic during the winter. It was so cold in the house, that he woke up and shook frozen snow off his blankets.
1880 Berlin Township Federal Census, entry 121-121:
Trombley, Mary, 62, born in Michigan, as were parents
Charles, 22, farmer and son
Jarvah, Susan, 14, granddaughter, born in Michigan as were parents (error: father Adolphus was born in Canada, St. Phillippe de la Pririe, near Montreal. See his entry for more.)
From St. Charles Ceemtery Records, copied by the DAR:
Trembley, Jon B., D. April 7, 1877, age 77 years
Trembley, Marie (Boismiea) d. February 23, 1899, 83 years old.
Charles Jarvis, son of Ralph Jarvis and grandson of John Baptiste and Mary Baumier Trombley made the following statements to Patrick L. Tombeau in the 1960's.
Charles stated he had twelve maternal aunts and uncles, for boys and four girls. Three died in infancy. John Baptiste Trombley had two sons by his first wife: John and Francis Xavier Trombley. John Trombley never married. Francis Xavier Trombley's granddaughter is Alice Trombley, 218 N.McComb, Monroe, MI.
Alice had two brothers: William and Laurence Trombley.
The rest of John Baptiste's children according to Charles Jarvis, were Moses D. Trombley, Mary Trombley Jarvis, Catherine, who died in infancy, Esther, Margaret, who married Adolph Jarvis, a brother of Ralph Jarvis, Charles's father; Elizabeth, Julia, Sister Judula of Notre Dame, IN. (See Julia Trombley's entry for further information); Matilda, married a Thompson; Charles Trombley, who in later years moved to St. Augustine, FL. Euphrasine Trombley. (CF. Above Fr. Christian Denissen's citation above for listing of these children.)
From the 1860 Census, dwelling 1580, p. 512, Ash Twp.:
John Trumley (Trombley), age 57,
Mary, 41
Margaret, 22
Mary, 20
Moses, 16
Hester, 14
Julia, 10
Elizabeth, 7

Charles, 2
The research on the ancestry of Jean Baptiste Trombley will be found in his entry in the Scrapbook section. It is 52 pages long. It is the research of many hands but in its present form it is the work of Liana Trombley, whose husband is a descendant of Francis Xavier Trombley of Jean Baptiste Trombley's first marriage in Canada/Upper New York State to Angelique Leroux dit Cardinal. It corrects a long standing error of the first edition of Fr. Christian Dennisen's work on the French Canadian Families of the Detroit River Region. I have also included what is known of J.B.'s ancestry and its collateral/maternal branches as well in the Family Tree family group sheets section back to their origins in France. It whould be noted that the Trombley name represents the most frequent Franch Canadian family name in the New World.
As I now understand, the connection between the LeRoux family was made when one of the family returned to Canada and connections were continued between the Leroux who stayed in the US and the relative who went back. This will be found in the attached research. This issue is important because as of 2005 the actual marriage between J.B. Trombley and Angelique Leroux has not been found but probably took place near the border of New York and Quebec near or in St. Regis parish.

Description: Mr. Tombeau,
FYI: He was born Jean-Baptiste TREMBLÉ 2 Feb 1803 and christened 3 Feb 1803 in St-Régis, Huntingdon County, QC.
St-Régis is located on the NY/ON/QC border and is a First Nation Reservation.

I have been working closely with Germaine Mae JARVIS on her ancestry. She pointed me to your web site.
My wife is a descendant of Mathieu GERVAIS, and over the past couple of years I've been researching her family. If you're interested in seeing what I've got so far, let me know and I'll send you the User Name and password required to access the database. Please bear in mind that this is work in progress.
I've also taken information from your web site and transcribed it onto my GERVAIS/JARVIS database.
Cheers!

- Thank you for your John/Jean Baptiste Trombley materials. His first wife was Vernique-Angelique LeRoux /Larue. They had two children together, both born in St. Regis, NY: (1) Francis Xavier Trombley and (2) John (Pete) Trombley who died unmarried at age 27. Francis Xavier Trombley did marry and had children, but according to a great uncle of mine, Charlie Jarvis, he took his family to the Dakotas (North or South) and nothing further is known. This information about migration to the Dakotas is not recorded anywhere and is strictly oral history from Uncle Charlie.
As for me, my mother is 100% French Canadian, making all of her ancestors are available to me both in the US and Canada.
.
Jean/John Baptiste Trombley was one of my great-great-great-grandfathers who lived in Monroe County, MI, where all the Frenchies settled in the 19th Century.
I have his complete ancestors back to the 1600's in France as well as many, many of his descendants on my site as well as pictures of J.B, his wife and some of his children. Please feel free to visit Tombeau.net. Also involved is a Laura ? Trombley whose husband is a Trombley. I think you have had contact with her.
Well feel free to take whatever you want from the site. The branch of the Trombley Family you sent me is part of the larger tree at my site. Your other larger tree appears to be more Germanic than French or American. But the Stark /Sterk family
did marry into my mother's family, The LaVoys. So I thank you for whatever I shall find there in detail later.

Hi Patrick!
I think I sent you a version "without the living persons"...
Here you get the complete one.
Can you give me the identity of his first wife?
And... where are you in this story?
Read you later...

That is quite a piece of work you have sent me. I did pick up some LaVoys who form the bulk of my searches. Mostly interelateted to the Stark/Sterk family. However, I was not able to find any Trombleys. I am primarily interested in the descendants of Jean Baptiste Trombley and his wife, Mary Boemier who settled in Newport,Monroe County, MI. Can you steer me to this work in your magnum opus? Also do you have descendants of his first marriage?
Thanks you for your kind presentation of your extensive work in genealogy,
